Did you know that Katie Holmes got a
near-perfect score on her SAT? Or that her ultimate fashion weakness—ranking up
with Yves Saint Laurent and Azzedine Alaia—is…socks!?

In this episode of Style Sessions with editor in chief Joe Zee, you best believe you’ll learn fun
facts about the household name. The two sit down to talk all things—from how
she’s developed her style (which she attributes to her friends!) to her time on
TV, to her favorite celebrity’s red carpet looks (think: BadGalRiRi). to her
days on Dawson’s Creek and the more recent Ray Donovan.

The
36-year-old admits that she knew she was interested in fashion from a very young
age. “I used to change five times a day and my mom would be like, ‘why are you
changing again?’ and I’d be like, ‘why not?’” (We wonder if Suri does the
same!) And though it’s no secret that the actress/mother/business woman is an
absolute arbiter of style, she disagrees. And when Zee asks for tips on how to
steal “the Katie Holmes style,” her advice is surprising.

“Trust your friends! And don’t think to hard about it,” she demands. “Your friends will
tell you if you look like an idiot or if you look great. I’m always paying
attention to everyone around me and I get inspired by everyone.”

But in terms of mimicking her enviably healthy hair, Holmes doles out more sound
advice: “It’s no different than how you treat your body. If you want to be able
to work at the highest level then you better be good to yourself. You’ve got to
take care of it on a daily basis.” Plus, her
favorite Alterna Haircare products do the trick, too!.
